I had posted here few days back redreams and if people can contact me. One noble lady did so and below is the prashna chart cast. After a few days she has given this feedback. Those into astrology can use basic chart analysis and come to conclusions and need not know how to interpret dreams.
Here is her response after 2 weeks
If you want to learn Practical Prashna Paddhati of Sunil John pls join the paid course that has just started (Prices would increase by next week) or if you want to learn a mini course.
We are excited to share that there’s a free online course on Prashna Paddhati (Horary Astrology) happening next week! Led by renowned astrologer Sunil John, this course will provide valuable insights into this ancient Indian system of divination.
Marana Karaka Stana of Mahatma Gandhi & K N Rao – Sun 12H in Marana Karaka Stana Musings
Often I have seen astrologers only give negative events to Marana Karaka stana of planets. But events are nothing but lessons that we need to learn and if not learnt that same pattern of planets keep on repeating in life time after lifetime until it becomes almost super difficult to master. The real way to use Marana Karaka Stana I had seen only one astrologer do it till date, a part of its secret I have shared it in few videos on youtube but camaflouged it as later it will be passed on as Parampara knowledge or someone will suddenly crop up saying its Bhrighu Rishi Parampara of his ancestors, which incidentally does not exist till those students are with me but as soon they branch out on their own they come up with Parampara word which is like becoming a Sex Siren in astrology to attract young kids.
Jataka Parijata Chapter 17 Shloka 34-36
Over a period of time this shloka has gained reverence among the modern astrologers with many calling it Parampara. Adding few additional parameters which any seasoned astrologer can do one can always say Rishi came in dream and told me or Parampara Secret
Yet can we revisit this shloka here and see how each one of you implements this in real practice
Jataka Parijata Chapter 17 Shloka 34-36
34-36. Jupiter in the 3rd house, Mars in the 7th, Saturn in the natal star, Rahu in the 9th house, the Moon in the 8th, the Sun in the 12th, Mercury in the 7th and Venus in an inimical house are each of them (Maranastthana) or death occasioners. When the planet which is thus termed (Maranastthana) is in conjunction with a malefic planet or aspected by one such or occupies an inimical or depression house or is destitute of strength, the person concerned comes to grief.
Note
Venus is given 7th house or does it mean Venus in 7th but it should be in an inimical house. Can anyone clarify
Later part of the shloka mentions additional parameter for it to be marana karaka that is conjunction aspect of malefic or enemy house or weak house or devoid of strength
Case 1: Mahatma Gandhi
One needs to consider the case of Mahatma Gandhi who had Sun in 12th house making it foreign Govt. One can say he mastered the energy of this marana karaka without any remedy or mantras and without hating the Britishers. Maybe he used the most powerful mantra of Shri Ram as Shri Ram was SuryaVanshi, (Rama belongs to the ‘Ikshvaku dynasty’ founded by King ‘Ikshvaku’ the son of Lord Surya, which is why Ramchandra is called ‘Suryavanshi’). One may note that he used to repeat the mantra the mantra, Rama, Rama, Rama
For a period of time after this discovery, Gandhi walked many miles each day, repeating the mantra to himself until it began to coordinate itself with the movement of his body and breath. The practice not only calmed him but brought him into periods of bliss and rapture—and, as he said, “opened the doorway to God.” Rama, Rama, Rama. Eventually, the mantra developed a life of its own within him. The mantra began to chant itself, arising spontaneously whenever he needed it. “The mantra becomes one’s staff of life,” he wrote, “and carries one through every ordeal…Each repetition…has a new meaning, each repetition carries you nearer and nearer to God.”
One May Note that his Sun is in 12H house with Gulika Mandi (some take same some different) and Sun will swallow the poison of Gulika . Sun is Ego and he had to swallow the poision of his ego only then he could defeat Gulika Mandi in 12H
Note any planet in 12H shows the pending karma from previous life. His pending karma was Govt (Sun) in Virgo (struggles fights – natural 6H)
Case 2: K N Rao
Here Sun is in Marana Karaka Stana, with Mer and Ketu, he popularised chanting of Vishnu Sahasranam (Mer Ketu Sun) among his jyotish students and at the same time with Sun in 12H of marana karaka stana, he was forced to fight legal batel against banning of astrology in the Supreme Court as other Jyotishis were more busy making money or reading charts of corrupt politicians or too busy promoting jyotish knowledge abroad. On his website this is written thus
“Surprisingly, not a single English knowing and speaking astrologers in these two citadels (Madras and Andhra courts) of Hindu orthodoxy even decided to appear as petitioner in person. That speaks volumes for their “love and pride” in the great ancient Hindu astrology.
Recovering slowly from his sickness, not yet fit to sit for long hours in a court of law, Rao appealed to astrologers of Delhi and of other centres to appear in person and defend the cause and case of astrology in the Supreme Court. At least twenty of them promised to do so but not one of them came anywhere near the Supreme Court even to hear proceedings of the case when it was being heard for admission ! Later, when it was heard on merits on 4 November 2004, to his consternation, Rao found that he was the only petitioner in person to defend it and praying to God to give him stamina to defend the case, he not merely defended the case but even won demolishing all the arguments of the famous lawyer, Shanti Bhushan.
My take is expecting astrologers of especially major cities like Mumbai, Delhi etc to defend astrology is expecting God to come down daily on Earth in real form and give darshan.
Anyways here we can see he fought in a legal court room (Saturn aspects Sun Mer Ketu in 12H) and won and thus mastered his karma of Marana Karaka Stana of Sun to a “certain extent” as one planet does not necessarily give us only one test to cross in life.
More thoughts need to be put to the usage of Marana Karaka Stana
Eg when Lagna Lord or AK (Atmakara) has Sun in 12th from it or AL (Arudha Lagna) in 12th from it, one can be a billionaire but will cry and go in depression after fathers death, like in the case of Sanjay Dutta the Bollywood actor who could never say I Love You to his father from his heart.
Upcoming “Sunil Johns Apprenticeship Program Notes”
Normally Dhooma is considered good in Upachaya houses like 3,6,11 houses
Some astrologers have had experience that even though Dhooma is supposed to be good in these houses but somehow it gives some negative effect too
Parashara Rishi has stated that it is the worst Upagraha giving results.
Affected Areas
HormonalImbalance
SiblingsLife or relations with them go sour
GossipScandals
Ones words will cause moreharm than expected
More BadKarma Will Be done in CurrentBirth due to FreeWill
Psychological Problems arise due to childhood trauma which would affect Job and MarriageAreas.
False CVs or Paper Work
3H Dhooma
If Dhooma is placed in the 3H in a chart it gives hormonal imbalance
If Dhooma dispositor associates with 3L or any association with 3H/L from any lagna it gives the same though in varying forms depending on the intensity of the planet
It can also spoil relations with siblings or the life of siblings can be ruined if more maleficence is found
Any New Venture taken or new initiative taken by self will often meet in failures
Lot of subconscious issues the native will have to face, its like fighting with own devils or fighting with the devils one creates
These kind of associations brings in trouble due to gossips.
If malefics esp become lord of Dhooma and associate with 3H it indicates frauds done due to paper work or false information in CVs or not Telling Whole Truth
Rule applicable in Prashna and Natal as per Sarvartha Chintamani Chp 1 Shloka 5
Chart 1: Hormonal Imbalance – prashna
This is a Prashna done by me around 16 plus years back and it has Dhooma in Asc but in 3H from Chandra Lagna and hormonal imbalance has effected her complete life with erratic behaviours and uncontrollable temper which has resulted in all relations being spoilt and now the native has become a control freak in office environment and also in personal life. After menopause al this got heightened. As you can see Dhooma lord has gone in the 8H with Ketu (dispositor of Moon)
Chart 2: Hormonal Imbalance
Dhooma is in 7H dispositor is Mer associated with Mars and retro Saturn, after the age of 36 she had hormonal imbalance and became obsess and has had no respite inspite of all treatments. Once upon a time she had huge ego for her beauty now she feels low in confidence depression etc due to obesity and tries to over shadow every conversation by throwing in her weight which leads to fights among family.
Chart 3: Hormonal Imbalance
Here Dhooma is in 3H and has caused Hormonal Imbalance at a very young age. Mandi in Lagna has augmented it and the solution is Shiva Puja with dedication and forgiveness first.
Chart 4: Fraud CVs
Native has Dhooma in Aq, its lord is Rahu and Saturn who is aspecting the 3H and also 3L Mars
Natives brother cheated him of property and at the same time native himself did false CVs and thrice has gotten caught due to it, losing prestigious job
Note Sun is in 12th from Mer so loss due to speech and documents. His humor (Mer karaka) at work place has cost him job many times. My observation from any planet is Sun is 12th then it gives bad results to that planet during appropriate periods gochars etc
Chart 5: Marriage Prashna 12 years back
Though I have lost most of my data of Prashnas of decades I have some of them left (Prashna is a love affair of mine where I made my own rules out of observational astrology its like Casablanca you will never have her completely)
This one has Dhooma in 10H of Karma, Dhooma is the sin of Sun, very important clue. He married someone by cheating her and lying. Dispositor of Dhooma is Jup which has gone to the 3H of siblings and within 1-2 years all his siblings left him as he cheated them of property. Dhooma aspects 4H of property. Till date he feels he did nothing wrong in removing all his siblings and elderly parents out of the house and throwing them on streets.
Step into a world of possibilities with Door Prashna –
where the planets reveal the secrets behind your door’s appearance!
(Applicable on Natal Too at Times depending on MD dasa or AD or PD as Asc then check 4H)
Rules
If in Prashna Jup or Venus is in 4H then door of the house will be broad and varnished, if Jup in 4H trees plants around it. But if its Venus then flower giving plants around door, Mer will give non useful trees. If waning moon then few feet away coconut tree . Mars will give root trees, Saturn will give fruit bearing trees. Rahu or Ketu can give poisonous trees, Sun tall trees. One view is that if Saturn in 4H then nearby would be peepal tree or Bargat Tree (depends on desha kaala patra one needs to interpret to modern times)
If Rahu in 4H then door will have termites but not easily seen or rotting or will have a hole, chipped off portion
If Saturn in 4H then a strong crack depending on strength
If Ketu then it will be a strong door but one has to do nazar dosh remedy for door for rahu and ketu in 4H, especially the umbra must be washed with gangajal regularly
If Mars the door can be new but small but holes after some time, cement around it can wave off
If Mercury in 4H then strong decorated door with some painting near by
Its been since 1991 I have been roaming around India meeting astrologers and interacting with many international giants. One thing I have learnt is that I can compare it with cooking which is my passion though I know very little about it. A rookie cook complains about kitchen equipment or not having special ingredients or not having all materials at hand at the time of cooking. A Master Chef can take 2-3 items and still create the best dish, even if a basic thing as salt is not present at hand he can still create magic. For 3 years I cooked and my family never once complained about salt though they always criticise each and every dish that salt is more or less. After 3 years I told them I never use salt and they were shocked. After meeting thousands of astrologers and getting to know them intimately I realized most of them only use basic techniques which an average super intelligent thinking astro student ignores or throws away saying it does not work. These small time village astrologers just know one thing if their Guru gave a method it will work irrespective of Statistical Astrology which is a pure failure if one thinks sharply and spends time on it. The Grace of Guru is such that I have experienced hundreds of times that I predict first then I try to find the astro reason behind my predictions since I have faith in my Guru and more than that I Loved My Guru which today astros are unfortunate as they have multiple Gurus (9H trap is it gives results in multiplicity but that’s what you got to avoid like not having many Gurus akin to having many fathers, the bitter truth is when we are young we want to learn from many gurus but when we become Gurus we don’t want our students to learn from many Gurus, how does this truth sound to us – sorry for this pun). Even Swami Vimalananda of Aghora fame has mentioned about having one Guru and one mantra but todays generation does not agree to it. Taking a simple technique and making it work requires grace of God and a simple mind, a complicated over intelligent mind can never achieve that. A bhakt with pure devotion would only love God and not think of other things like a Raja Yogi who will over-intellectualise everything. When a technique is posted in any forum or given in any book most reply as
It works
It does not work
But none of them think about working hard, making that extra effort of posting charts and explaining why it is working or not working, forget about testing it on 5 charts, yet when we want to take a vaccine eg Covid Vaccine we try to find out the efficacy of it and how many trails it has undergone. This is the double dichotomy of we humans No technique will progress in a scientific environment when we don’t test it and show its results. When we post charts with results we allow other students to learn HOW TO USE IT or allow other scholars to take that technique further Otherwise what is the use of calling a Facebook forum as a Research Forum when no research is being done. No serious testing, most act as silent observers to choose their individuality or superiority thereby not allowing the Science to Progress further Lets take two techniques which are so super that no one till date has understood it or decoded it
If 5H has Jupiter and 5L is with Venus one will obtain child at age of 32 or 33
If 5L be in Kendra to Jupiter one will get child at 30 or 36
Now if you post this on internet forums we will have all kinds of clownish answers like ‘It works’, ‘It does not work’ etc But if we quote who wrote this then all will keep quiet To understand this technique is tough as it has been ignored by all and no one has decoded it till date, it has 6-7 layers in prediction but if you teach decoding to any of this shloka then he will after 4 years write he comes from a Bhrighu Parampara But if I tell the name of the Rishi or tell that this technique is given by Lord Brahma to a person then peoples eyes will notice it Bottom line is due to the audience no one wants to come on social media and give real knowledge, those who know astrology avoid astrologers as their energy is pathetic most of the time as most of them are tantriks or into black magic and thus real gems of astrology go waste. I have seen astrologers of such great knowledge go waste as they never had an audience or right kind of students and all who know astrologer are scared of the shloka of Parashar Rishi and Garga Rishi where they said teaching astrology to a crafty man brings in misfortune Unfortunately todays social media or internet you can never vet the student, till they are with you they swear all kinds of things to show them as good sishyas etc and later they adopt Digital Marketing Fake ids to market themselves to become Super Guru. Bottom line, Share knowledge the way it has to be shared not in short cut manner, encourage students to learn from each post. Show them how systematic posting it to be done If you just write as comment “It works, it does not work” no one is growing no one is learning, you are just sitting on a high handed chair pedestal. Atleast once a week on Sunday spend one hour testing a technique posting charts. When you die think how many techniques did you give systematically. Think of it this way, think of top 10 astrologers in last 100 years and now think how many techniques of them you know by heart that you can remember as their contribution. If your answer is in negative then remember not one of them contributed systematically to astrology as they did not have mediums or computers, you have it now so you can make that change.
Those who have attended my courses esp Prashna one can see how Rahu in 5H in D1 and in 12H in D60 confirms Sarpa Dosha (see jpeg below) and also badha concept working so smoothly, in D1 Sc lagna so Badhak house for fixed signs would be 9H where Moon is sitting and in D60 badha for a Cancer native (all chara signs will have 11H as badha – obstacle) will be 11H where Moon (Mother) is sitting
All D1 Asc and D60 Asc is aspected by Mars from 7H in both charts confirming the anger curse involved
Incidentally, Rahu is in fixed navamsa aspected by Mars in D9 and Moon in 8H, this is not going to go easily.
After the analysis was sent to the native, she wrote the below mail confirming some problems with her husband and mother, which Prashna is showing already.
An Old books are often ignored and one such is by the giant of yesterday years which is Ramakrishna Bhatt. Though he has written a great work on Prashna but students or even experts should start with his Fundamentals of Astrology.
Read each chapter word by word reading it 3 times and then going to next chapter. Making smart notes on the book and also in a separate book. I often keep a green highlighter plus red dark pen to make my notes on the book.
Below is from his Panchang Chapter Page 291, some of the things we know are myths like not doing house warming on Saturday and sometimes we follow Indian rituals like taking curd sugar while leaving house without bothering which day it is. Below is quote from his book
A. Sage Garga says that house warming can be done on Saturdays, but travelling is forbidden. B. For voyages one should elect the weekdays and Amsas of the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. C. For boating Thursday is said to be ideal, while Monday and Friday cause floods, and Wednesday break of the pole. D. The Vidyāmādhavlya states that sometimes the weekdays of Mercury and Venus are not beneficial to women and cows for journey. E. Certain foods are prescribed for the different weekdays before starting on a journey: They are in order

H. Monday, Wednesday and Saturday alone are recommended to oil-bath. Even Narada Rishi has written this
If anyone takes oil bath results will be as below. ( rough translation, kindly bear with me) Sunday -will catch some disease & become a patient Monday- will get radiance & glow Tuesday- will get some disease Wednesday – will grow through Luck Thursday & Friday – may lose wealth Saturday – wealth & financial growth happens. In a nutshell , only monday ,wednesday & saturday oil bath is beneficial.
But can we take all this blindly without experimenting and using individual charts where things can alter. In our SA FB Research group this shloka was posted and a kind feedback
Prabal Das I’ve tested with myself though I don’t know whether in general things work or not sir. Virgo asc, saturn in 9th- Whenever I applied oil on Saturday I had to fight with my father . Though no problem in other days but yeah if anything I do on Tuesday, I will fall sick on Thursday .
1) In Karma Vipak Samhita, which is Lord Shivas discourse on Past Live Sins of each Nakshatra, Lord Shiva has given importance to link Nakshatra Pada to Past Life Sins which is nothing but Navamsa Position of Moon.
2) We often see sadesathi in D1 but Devakerelam mentions few verses on seeing Moons position in D9 and taking transits into it which was highlighted by Legend Late Shri C S Patel Saheb
3) Moon is given highest importance in D1 & Navamsa chart is considered having links to Past Life Events which astrologers don’t take at all. What scribe has observed & got hint after seeing Past Life readings of few authentic nadi readings of others is a new chart that is to Make Navamsa Moon as Lagna in D9 and see the marriage/life. Something we can explore in another article
Moon in D9 Limited Pointers In This Series Observation 1: Sadesathi in D9 Observation 2: 8th from D9 Moon, actually it is the 4th 8th Chatus aspect which people don’t take, but for now lets limit. Influence of Nodes and Saturn on 8th from Moon can be very significant. Note Retro Planet goes one sign before and aspects D9 Moon
Chart 1: Death Nov 6, 2021. D9 Moon Is aries, Sc becomes the 8th Sign and Transit Ketu Plus Moon was on the date of his death
Chart 2: Husband Left her due to Torture of years and refuses to come back. Tr Saturn is on 7th Lord of D9 and also aspects D9 Moon. Lady has gone in shock as to why husband left her although events are on paper.
Chart 3: Indira Gandhi Death 31st Oct 1984
Rasi Tr Sat was in Libra where Venus the 8th Lord and 3rd Lord of death is sitting and all this happening in 8th from Chandra Navamsa coupled with Sun.
Chart 4: Rajiv Gandhi, Tr Saturn in trine to D9 Moon in 6H of Akala Mrityu and if we take retro then it has 10th aspect on D9 Moon
Chart 5: Mahatma Gandhi Moon is in Pisces Navamsa shows a birth for a special reason, Transit Ketu is in 8th from D9 Moon when he was assassinated.
Chart 6: Rahul Gandhi Tr Rahu was on D9 Moon when his father was assassinated and retro Saturn is going on D9 Moon
When his Grand Mother Indira Gandhi was assassinated Tr Saturn was aspecting D9 Moon
Chart 7: SS divorce Tr Saturn in Aq but when it became retro the divorce got finalised in 15 days, note Sat goes back on D9 Moon
In the past live sessions of Prashna Paddhati Classes I had made some predictions on people visiting graveyard and doing Sadhana in graveyard. Few people were present in that class but office someone misplaced those videos My observation was that Aquarius was the sign for graveyards and 2 months back I had found one book also where it was written, unfortunately I don’t remember it now Below is a Prashna done by our Team Member and Teacher Ruchi Dutta using the same principles of Aquarius, 4th and 8th and 12H connection with Saturn. I reproduce her chat as it is, below is her prediction given.
Mrs Ruchi Dutta Sir, please see this Prashna. He went to a memorial in London. Gulika Mandi in Pisces. This person is dreaming of spirits calling him and telling him come your time is up. He sees a dark tunnel. Expired family members and other spirits call him in his dreams. Has been happening for 2-3 months since he returned from London. A friend had passed away when he was there. He went for the meeting before the burial when the body was there. Aquarius in lagna. Graveyard. I immediately asked her did he go to any? This is spirits’ matter.
Sunil John 12L in Lagna, 12H is exit, with Saturn coming over there in lagna it shows many things in Prashna which also means a bad dream that’s haunting the native, leg problem or some separation coming the way etc etc Another significant point is Jup retro (most important) having connection with 4/8/12 houses in D1 and D60 confirms it as 4/8/12 houses esp 4 determines the end times of ones life.
There are many methods to use Shani’s Transit & Aspect of Shani has been used in most novel manners in Nadi Granthas like Bhrigu Nadi & Deva Kerelam (Chandra Kala Nadi) which are different from the traditional 3,7,10 aspect.
Legendary late astrologer Shri C.S. Patel has shown Nadi methods of Shani’s transit aspects in many unique manners, one among them being Saturn aspecting 6, 8, 12 & 3rd houses from its transit position. We shall limit ourselves to only 3, 7, 10 in this article.
Our write up deals with Shani & will try to achieve few things:
a) To Remove ‘subtly’ the misconception that Shani is always bad
b) Shani is also called as ‘Kaala’ or TIME as it is he who discharges Karma, good or bad. We as astrologers deal with Time so the movement of Shani for us is most important to watch. As the famous ‘Saharampur’ Pandit known for his secret Bhrigu Techniques once said, nothing moves in anyone’s life without Shani & Jup both coming into play – please note it can be a good or bad event.
c) Judging if Sadesati is good or bad is tough for even experienced astrologers & many known methods fail – and some experienced astrologers have observed that for 2 people born with same Natal Chart within a gap of 40-50 minutes of each other – one of them experiences Sadesati & other does not. This leads us to the final divisional chart of D60 where Moon changes sign in approximately 50 minutes.
D60 or Shastiamsa, as it is called, is tough to see due to inaccurate birth times because it changes lagna every 2 minutes although most planets do not change signs in D60 for many hours.
The subsequent question gotten is: Should we use Divisional Transits? Have our ancient books sanctioned it? 99% of astrologers spend lifetimes arguing that it has not been mentioned, whereas some ‘Just Do It’ (that is just use it).
Divisional Transits
We came across a verse in Chandrakala Nadi Part 1 P.314, verse 3124 (below is translation by Shri C.S. Patel).
Verse 3124: When Saturn transits Chandra Navamsa Rasi (Rasi represented in the natal chart by the Moon’s occupied Navamsa Rasi) or the sign occupied by the Moon (in Natal Chart), the native suffers from enemies, mental anguish & humiliation from secret blemish.
Verse 2044/45: When Saturn transits the 8th from Chandra Navamsa Rasi, the native will suffer great calamity during Rahu’s period and will have termination of some running favorable yogaphala or yogabhanga results.
Verse 2385 talks about bad results for Saturn’s transit in the 7th from Chandra Navamsa Rasi
Conclusion From Above Verses
1) Ancient texts sanction the use of Divisional Transits that can be strongly accepted or loosely accepted
2) Or Ancient Texts like Chandra Kala Nadi are asking us to super impose the Divisional Chart position on the natal chart and check transits on it.
3) The interesting part for those who use Navamsa only for Marriage Matters is they can see that the verses do not talk about anything to do with Marriage
Chandra Navamsa Rasi cannot be ignored but, while reading the above, it struck us to integrate the same in our vast Shastiamsa (D60) researches that we have been carrying out for some time ‘even with inaccurate birth times of 20-25 mins’.
Important
The moon sign in Shastiamsa (D60) is to be referred to as ‘Chandra Shastiamsa Rasi’ & it is significant to note that the Moon doesn’t change sign in D60 for a period of approximately 50 minutes.
The Usual Suspects:
v When it comes to the D60 chart, most ignore it using the excuse of the birth time not always being accurate hence, most astrologers do not even go beyond D10 & the mental block continues for lifetimes.
v Of late, D60 has became popular to see for Past (Previous) Life Karma[1]
v BPHS (Chp 7, shlokas 1-8) gives clear instructions on the exact usage of D60; to limit its usage to see the previous life of a native is limiting the astrology of Parasara. Sage uses the word षष्टायंशेऽखिलमीक्षयेत्।- everything is indicated for D45 and D60
Methodology in this Write Up
v Ignore the Lagna of D60 (for now) & just note down the sign position of Moon in D60 (Shastiamsa)
v See Sign of Tr (Transit) Sat in Rasi (natal) & superimpose it on D60 vis-à-vis Shastiamsa Moon
v Sat in houses 12, 1, 2 from Moon, or 4th & 8th from Moon is considered bad (though not always) but can also given spectacular rise as Shani is ‘Time Personified’
v Divisional SAV & BAV of Moon – Sat is important to map any transits but it can only be depended at the rate of 75% & is not the end all
v Note this statement from an old astrologer ‘Saturn is a Old Courier Man who carries the letters (containing past karmas – good or bad) & where he stations (houses) he drops those letters
v D60 lagna changes every 2 minutes approximately & that’s one of the reasons its value is highest – while at the same time being a big deterrent for even seasoned astrologers to use it. But, we will see that even without the correct Asc, we can get some clues with Sat Tr in respect to D60 Moon to interpret results profitably.
Note: (those who do not believe in Ascendant of a divisional chart or authenticity of exact time can ignore the house explanations)
Let us study some charts to see if during these transits the natives went through bad times or good times.
Example 1: Tony Blair (Rodden’s Rating AA)
Event 1: 19th Oct 2003 – heart problems
v On Oct 2003, Sat was in Gemini. Sat was in the 6th from Moon (Chandra Shastiamsa Rasi) indicating health issues
v Now superimpose this in D60 chart where Tr Sat comes into the 3H and looks at the 5H of heart & Leo (heart) sign also & directly at the 5L Sun himself
v It was noted as some minor problem though other doctors said it was serious
v Tr Jup in 5H of heart & aspecting the natal D60 Sun as 5L saved him.
v Lastly, Tr Sat in D60 SAV has 29 bindus
Event 2: 1st May 1997 elected British PM
v Tr Saturn is in Pisces, 3rd from Chandra Shastiamsa Rasi
v Tr Jup is in his 10H of career right on his D60 Moon sign & Sat aspects the 2H of Administration & 5L Sun is in the 9H of Kingdom
v Tr Sat has 33 bindus in D60 SAV, in Moon BAV 3 points and in Sat BAV of D60, it is transiting over 6 bindus which is very high. Sat shows masses.
Event 3: 2005-2006 – Problems & disloyalty
v Tr Sat in Cancer, 7th from Moon, is in the 4H of parliamentary career so 4H (homeland) matters will shake (London train bomb episode) & so will his parliamentary career (4H)
v Tr Sat also aspecting LL (self) & 8L of downfall, Mars, & 4 L Moon. Most importantly, Tr Sat occurs on D60 natal Sat – time for major changes in career.
v D60 SAV 28 (average) with zero shodita points, Moon D60 BAV 4 bindus & Sat BAV only 3 – three points will show unpopularity with the Masses (for Sat)
Event 4: Nov 06 onwards
v Tr Sat is in Leo, 8th from his Moon, causing Astham Sani & in 5H of power/seat which will also be effected since there is GL (Power, Fame, etc.) causing defame thereby effecting all these significations and resulting in loss of it to a certain extent, showing problems with the Law/Govt of a country as it is in sign Leo (Govt) and in trine to Sun the 5L.
v D60 SAV is only 28, Moon BAV 3 & Sat BAV only 2 (very little contact with the masses)
Example 2: Prince Charles
As the aim of this article is not to establish the correctness of the D60 Lagna & due to shortage of space, we shall look at only one chart as an example showing ‘How to See a D60 Chart’ in its entirety (though not detailed here).
D60 Short Analysis of Prince Charles
a) Lagna is occupied by 4L Ven (female) so the self will be dominated by the Mother & the native will love women (numerous affairs). With LL (self) with 5L (interests) in 12H of charity, he could be involved with lot of charity.
b) 5L of education Mars in the 12H of abroad would mean some education abroad (he did 2 terms in Australia)
c) 6L of accidents Jup is debilitated in the 7H in sign Cap (the 10H of Kaalapurusha signifying knees) so problem with knees can be seen with aspect of Mars (knife/speed) – and in 1998, he underwent surgery (Mars) to repair knee cartilage. Mars aspecting the 6H will give accidents while doing speeding activities – in 2001 he fell from horse and broke a bone.
d) 7L in 2H (8th from it) with Sun – see that Sat & Sun do not get along so, won’t get along in marriage & it would break. Merc in the 7H would create frigidity in marriage & extra marital affairs (Mer) and both Diana and Charles confessed to this.
e) Rahu in the 9H will give lots of foreign travel & an attraction to foreign religions or support of them (he favors Dalai Lamas struggle)
f) Love (5L) in the 12H uniting with self (LL) Moon will indicate many things like love in one’s life will come from a previous life with a very deep pending karma attached to it or that his real love will manifest after someone’s death (12H is house of exit) and only after Diana (5L) died they could unite —
g) 7L Sat is in the 2H with Sun, so one person in the family is a Miser and/or the family is a fallen family from position; the native’s 1st wife won’t get along with a family member or it could even be 2nd wife (8th from 7th – some take 11H for 2nd marriage too) who won’t get along with Mother (11th from 4H and 2nd from 4L).
One can go on and on but someone’s personal tragedies are only a case study for astrologers. The Chart with Cancer D60 Lagna sounds so far correct.
Event 1: Wikipedia says: By 1992, it was obvious that the marriage (with Diana) was over in all but name…
v Tr Sat is in Cp, 8th from D60 Moon in the 7H of marriage
v Tr Sat in the 7H of marriage creating separation (Sat is separative) between partners & as it is happening in the 7H of public platform, it means public will know it
v D60 SAV is 20 (very low) & Shodita SAV doesn’t support it with only Zero points; and with Sat BAV being only 1 point, this was not popular with the masses (Sat)
Event 2: 28th Aug 1996 divorce with Diana
v We need to stress again that Sat in 10th from Moon or aspecting 10H from Moon is indicative of MAJOR events
v Tr Sat ® in Pisces, 10th from Moon indicates significant events
v When Sat will retrograde, it will look reverse (ref. Bipin Behari) at his 7H with his 3rd aspect and there sits Jup (DK) – Sat is separative
v Tr Sat in 9H of institution/religious things like marriage – Sat in 9H would break the Institution that was bonded by religious ceremonious thread
v Bhrigu Method is to see a planet’s effects from the previous house Too if a planet is retrograde
v Tr Sat in 8H will aspect the 7H of marriage & 8H of scandals/bad name – what stars earlier promised is full filled now
v Sat Retro seen from the 8H would break the marriage, as it causes Sadesati to 7H & 8H which shows sustenance of marriage; D60 SAV of 8H has 21 bindus only whereas the 9H has 30 bindus
Event 3: 9th Apr 2005 marriage with Camilla Parker
v Tr Sat in Ge, 1st from Moon & in 12H of D60 – should this be treated like a usual bad transit or a delivery of Karma on self (LL)
v In 12H, Tr Sat (7L) & Jup bless 9H of union. Tr Sat (Kaala- Time) unites/activates self (Moon LL) & Love (Mars 5L). The whole drama being played in the 12H would show undue delay or changes even the last minutes before marriage or someone’s death (12H or 8H if involved) – the Pope’s death delayed by few days & Diana’s death delayed by few years the supposedly Twin Flames from uniting.
v D60 SAV has strong 33 bindus & Shodita has 12 which is very strong supporting the event; in BAV of Sat it has 5 bindus, again very strong.
Example 3: Top Post in Media
This native held a topmost post in one of the biggest media houses in India. In such positions, has to do less work & engaging more in corporate games. Unfortunately & once our luck runs out, Lord Shani becomes free to strike.
Event: In Sept 2001, the native was shown the pink slip and till date has not risen to the glorious influential position he once commanded.
v Tr Sat in Sept 01 in Ta, 7th from Moon (D60) who is 8L in D60 & debilitated
v Tr Sat is in the 6H of service & Sat is 3L of change of service (6th from 10H); it is also on 6L Ven (native is in the TV field). Sat activated the 8H of downfall, 12H of abroad & 3H of change of job cum travel
v Native resigned on his own (corporate form of pink slip) & shifted abroad with family immediately
v D60 Sat with 26 SAV & zero Shodita, SAV added to it but didn’t cause major upheaval by maintaining dignity (BAV of Sat has 5 bindus)
Example 4: Divorce – March 05
v Mars 2L of family in D1 is in Mrityubhaga. Meanwhile, in D60, Jup 2L of family is debilitated in the house of loss – both charts indicate some loss of family (not touching D9 due to want of space)
v 7H has Gulika & Mandi, poison will flow out of it giving tensions; D60 Pramaana Gulika dispositor is Saturn (note this in mind); 7L is Sun is debilitated in the 9H of institution (religious ceremonies of life) & Blessings of Gods aspected by debilitated Sat (with UL) from 3H of free will or own act happening in the 6/12 axis from AL indicating the nature of the event.
v Do not forget Sc Rahu with debilitated Moon in 10h of sukha of marriage.
v He says ‘ I seeked advice from top astrologers who said divorce wouldn’t happen’, scribe wonders if they saw D60 of the native too. Recently on famous internet lists, top astrologers are rectifying his chart by changing his birth time which, according to scribe’s humble opinion, is not needed at all if we follow what Parasara said on how to see D60. But since only 1 event of the native’s life is known, it is tough to rectify D60 – especially chart rectification shouldn’t be started with marriage as it would be most disastrous.
v Now see Tr in Mar 05, Sat ® was in Ge in 8th from Moon causing Ashtam Sani & in 5H of D60 causing separation in romance of marriage, plus aspecting the 2H of family & 7H of marriage
v Sat is separative & if Bhrigu’s Method is used, then Tr Sat being Retro would be in the 4H of happiness aspecting the 6H of separation or legal divorce
v D60 SAV of the 5H has 31 points ‘BUT’ in the previous house, 4H SAV is poorest at only 25 bindus – explaining why Bhrigu Nadi method cannot be ignored.
Example 5: Sonia Gandhi
Very Short D60 Analysis
The reason this chart is explained here is that months were spent on internet lists discussing the correct time of Sonia Gandhi’s birth.
v 7L Moon in Cp with Sat, husband could be connected to the masses (Sat Moon) & in 2H Mars, the bomb, is sitting in an enemy’s house and aspected by Rahu (terrorist) from the 6H while 12L Jup aspects from the 8H of Sudden End who is also 3L of short travel – Rajiv was campaigning then.
v 10h is the mother-in-law (Indira) & Ven is in Malavaya Yoga with AL (mother-in-law should be a famous person) aspected by Rahu, known for her fighting spirit.
v 5L of romance in Mahapurusha yoga in Kendra to self (Sat) & 7L Moon shows their (Rajiv-Sonia) Soul Mate Love for each other as reported by the press.
v 9H is the house of younger brother of husband (3rd from 7H); the sign is Virgo aspected by maraka Mars, Virgo’s lord is Mer in a Venusian sign (the hint is clear as to who he was) aspected by Sun (Sanjay Gandhi was known for his firebrand nature). 8th from Mer (lord for younger brother) will show his death – there exalted Ketu sits in the 12H of exit in the sign of Sagittarius, a fiery sign : the plane crashed and went up in smoke.
Event 1: Mother in law, Indira Gandhi’s Death on 31st Oct 1984
v Tr Sat in Libra, 10th from the Moon indicates Dramatic Change Time
v Tr Sat (maraka lord) in 10H of mother-in-law & on Ven the 10L
v D60 SAV is 27 (low), Moon & Sat BAV in D60 are only 2 for both – that’s very bad
v Observe Tr Sat with Tr Sun & Tr Mer – see the lordships of Sun & Mer from lagna & also from the 10H of mother-in-law – and the picture is clearer
v Tr Rahu in the 8th from the 10H shows that there is something Sudden (Rahu) & Terrorist (Rahu) awaiting the mother-in-law. Rahu is a maraka co-lord too.
Event 2: Rajiv Gandhi Assassinated on 21st May 1991
v Tr Sat® in Cp on natal Chandra Shastiamsa Rasi & also 7L Moon
v Tr Sat ® (maraka lord) in 1H aspecting the 7H of husband & on the 7L Moon (he was known as the soft one) & Hara (end) lord Mars (11L) in the 7H with 12L of exit Jup by Tr. Something surely has to happen to the husband or their marriage or the children as Tr Sat ® aspect on the 10H where the 5L is posited shows that children would be affected badly
v At the end, husband and marriage both were over & the children were obviously effected
v One can see the position of Tr Rahu from the 7H of husband to know who the culprit was
v SAV is only 27 in D60 & Shodita has dropped drastically to Zero
Event 3: 18th May 2004 declined from becoming Prime Minister
v Tr Sat is in Ge in the 6H of D60 chart, 3rd from Moon – both good places by Tr i.e. from Moon & Lagna for Saturn
v D60 SAV is 33 (very high) in 6H indicating the defeat of enemies possibility, BAV of D60 Moon is a whopping 7 & Sat BAV is 6, the masses were with her
v When she declined to be PM, her supporters tried committing suicide – her victory was a slap to the opposition party BJP & was incomprehensible
Event 4: 2005-2006 had to resign from Parliament, continuous Mud Slinging on her & Revenge Time
v Tr Sat in Cancer, the 7th from Shastiamsa Chandra Rasi & also the 7H of relations spoiled her relations with some loyalists & frontal attacks by Opposition
v Accusations were hurled at her, post of profit issues – she resigned and won the elections again
v One of the toughest times for native one could say, with poor performance of her Govt & Chief Ministers
Example 6:Amitabh Bachchan, Most Famous Man of the Millennium – BBC Polls
Event 1: Fatal Accident in Film shooting that moved millions to pray for him as he was fighting death – July 1982
v Tr Sat with Tr 12L Mars in Virgo – in the 4th from D60 Moon causes Ardha Shani in the 5H of fame while also aspecting the 6L of accidents Ven & LL (self)
v Tr Sat & Mars both aspect the 11H (Hara – 6th from 6th of accidents) & natal Mars placed in the maraka 2H along with Karma of accidents, 3L Moon
v Please note Mars Tr in 4H from Moon results in stomach problems (Phaladeepika Chapter 26) & he was HIT IN THE STOMACH damaging internal organs there
v D60 SAV has 21 points in Vi where Tr Sat & Mars are and also Mars BAV of D60 has only 1 point. Indeed a time to fight for life.
The usual mistake by astro enthusiasts is that whenever we read a method in articles, we apply it as the SOLE criteria, whereas the particular author might be trying to demonstrate the method in a way to make stand out the principles he is trying to explain. Another factor is to apply the above method to it’s fullest; other factors of D60 have to be taken into account which deserve much wider space, for transits cannot be above dasas. Even if one’s D60 lagna is not accurate, we can apply this profitably by only seeing its position from the D60 Moon (without using SAV) and see some meaning to it – and it becomes one More Tool in our arsenal of Tools that we’ll refine with continuous usage of it.
As one old Master once said to scribe ‘Complex methods are just a state of the mind, an innocent (Jup) student of this science will understand it easily & profitably, whereas an advanced biased student might never’ is what this scribe ends this paper with as yet, I have to understand what he said in its entirety. His parting words were ‘U have been given the highest Key for learning astrology in that statement Beta (son).
The credit of inspiring scribe to learn about D60 goes to 3 lines from Shri K.N. Rao in an email reply dated Oct 04, we worked on it and established more than 20 techniques of D60.
[1]Previous life cum Future life of native can be clearly seen in D1 if one knows how to see it & the exact detailed methodology is lost or many techniques exist with the astrological community divided over it.
